Remote video recording camera control through wireless handset

摘要

A video recording camera system provide remote control functionality through a wireless handset interface. In embodiments, a video recording camera includes an optical sensor, a processor coupled to the optical sensor to process an input image signal received from the optical sensor into an encoded video data stream, a non-volatile storage medium coupled to the processor to store, locally in the video recording camera, encoded video data stream as recorded video data, and a wireless transceiver. In embodiments, a cellular-enabled wireless communication handset communicatively couples to the video recording camera over a wireless personal area network (WPAN) supported by the camera's wireless transceiver. The handset serves as a gateway to the camera providing access to recorded video data or functions of the camera, via the WPAN, as determined based on communications conducted by the handset over a cellular communication link.

主权项

1. A video recording camera system, comprising:
a video recording camera, comprising:
an optical sensor to receive an input image signal;a processor coupled to the optical sensor, the processor configured to process the input image signal received from the optical sensor into an encoded video data stream;a non-volatile storage medium, wherein the storage medium is coupled to the processor and is to store, locally in the video recording camera, the encoded video data stream as recorded video data; anda wireless transceiver; and a cellular-enabled wireless communication handset communicatively coupled to the video recording camera over a wireless personal area network (WPAN) supported by the wireless transceiver, wherein the handset is to access the recorded video data or functions of the camera, over the WPAN, based on communications conducted by the handset over a cellular communication link, wherein the handset is to forward, to the camera over the WPAN, a video recording control command received by the handset through the cellular communication link, wherein the handset is to relay, over the cellular communication link, the recorded video data received from the storage medium over the WPAN in response to the video recording control command, wherein the handset to relay the recorded video data includes the handset to upload a logical segment of the recorded video data across the WPAN and the cellular communication link to a remote data repository as a video clip file.
